With the above facts in view, the
future of the grape industry IS pret-
ty clearly defined. There never
was better time to plant a vineyard
than to-day. Leave the low, damp,
heavy lands too near the water
courses. Select a warm, loamy soil
on the mesa. Secure a moderate sup
ply of water for use in dry years
and plant your vines. There is plen-
ty of such lands still obtainable in
the most accessible parts OF Los An
gel es county at 800 to 500 per acre.
In view of the fact, that it is resist
ant to the vine pests OF ali sorts, that
it is hardy and heavy bearer, that
the berry is available for brandy. for
sweet or dry wines, let us select the
Mission vines. Cuttings can be had
for seventy-five cents per thousand
the cost OF getting them out. Plant
these twelve feet apart. This will
call for something less than three
hundred cuttings to the acre. A man
in proper soil will put in two acres in
day. The cost of preparing the land
will be 81 per acre, and the setting
will cost 81. The cost OF taking care
of the vines for two years will be
less than $40 per acre. The third
year the crop will pay more than the
expenses. The fourth year there
will be a handsome profit over ex-
penses. From the fifth year the
profit will be very satisfactory until
the eighth year, when healthy vines
on proper soil will be yielding five
tons to the acre.
Looking at such a vineyard in the
light of a permanent investment, it
will be interesting to consider what
it will pay net profit. Set three
feet apart the crop will be quite
as large as ii planted at half
the distance. A fair estimate is five
tons to the acre. Let US suppose the
price OF grapes to settle at seventy
five cents per hundred, or SIS per
ton. They will not be cheaper than
that. This gives us $75 per acre gross
income. Set twelve feet apart the
cost of cultivation and care is greatly
reduced. Such vineyard will not
cost per annum more than $40 per
acre. This leaves net income of $55
an acre for the crop. That is an esti-
mate which will hold good for all
time to come. Vines in Europe paw
as we'll as that, and there is no rea-
son why they should do less with us.
The value of such property will
range at $500 an acre before the end
of decade from to-day. In twenty
years from this time ali the good
vineyards in Los Angeles county will

eriug the gloomy Sundays we have so
often had for long time past.
The Easter openings held by Mrs.

The County Commissioners.

The report upon the dOings OF the
County Commissioners was printed in
these columns last week.
It is a satisfaction TO know that. 10

struction, and bridges and roads and
other work for which the commission
ers were responsible. conducted under
their direction, there is no hint, even. of
collusion or fraud anywhere. The prin>
cipal ground of complaint against them
appears to be based upon their watch
fulness and fidelity to the public inter

after the public work in process of con-
struction, and as result have been paid
to- much, in the estimation of their
critics.

The speculative spirit is widening,
and the indications are that nothing but
a crash will cure it. Your modern

may be more respectable in the eyes of
the world than faro or poker, but the

much more harm than the latter. At
FiudIay all other business is completely

spectators. At other to wns where ma
tural gas has been reached similar
state of affairs is in preparation. There
seems to be no cure for it except a crash
that will paralyZe the spectators, and
the sooner that comes the better for all

that or other legitimate business be

No cause can be assigned as to the or

perintendent and aD architect are en-
ployed, but the commissioners are re-
sponsible to the people for the character
of the work. and it is their privilege and
their duty to take every precaution to
see that tbs work is honestly and faith

order to Mr.. Cope was made, at the next
meeting following this visit of Mr.. Is

The present board of commissioners
are in no wise responsible for the en-

The animus of this attack is apparent.
